# Trace vs Timing

The clearest difference is rating: Timing at 5.0 against Trace's 4.2. Timing also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Trace's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trace sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Timing sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trace has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Trace's written reviews are positive against 83% of Timing's.

Trace ships an update every 2 days, Timing every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
